“Batman: Hush” (**1/2 out of four) was a mildly entertaining animated adaptation of the comic book story in which Batman (voiced by Jason O’Hara) finds Gotham City under siege by a new mysterious villain named Hush while he falls in love with Selena Kyle/Catwoman (voiced by Jennifer Morrison) and has to keep the city protected from old villains The Joker (voiced by Jason Spisak) and The Riddler (voiced by Geoffrey Arend). Visually lush and striking animation makes this worthwhile but film starts to sag in the final third and story starts to become overcomplicated and overstuffed with too many characters. Strong music score by Frederick Wiedmann with homages to previous “Batman” themes and scores.
